Abnormal Stem

jben1990
jben1990started grow question 2 years ago
In pictures 7 and 8 you will see a picture of the stem. If you look closely you will see thar the stem is wider than a normal stem. Almost like 2 stems merged together. This is also causing the bud to look strange. Anyone seen this before?

This is called a polyploid mutation it is when the plant has 3 or more paired chromosomes instead of the normal 2 paired chromosomes That is what causes this mutation, there is nothing to worry about man 🙌🙌 good luck with the rest of your grow hope this helps

This is called fasciation and it is the result of an improper hormone balance in the apical meristem resulting in abnormal cell differentiation. It's cause is normally genetic predisposition or a biotic stress and its found all over the plant kingdom. Normally it has nothing to do with ploidy level

Hi, seems like you got a mutation. I've seen this before myself. I take it all the other plants in the room as okay? Just keep an eye on that bud. The miss formed growth can cause bud rot. Other than that she will be fine. good luck with rest of grow

i even had more crazy ones in my new crossings, but usually they develop nice buds :) i dont know its genetic, or some enviromental effect, or some infection, but except the shape, they always looked healthy.

I believe that is defined as polyploidism. I had a Funky Falcon plant that grew like this. Very cool mutation. Good luck with the rest of your grow. Did you happen to pull any clones?

It's definitely a polyploid if you check out this short video and check out the stem on the bud It's double up like a conjoined twin almost...There's a couple spots in the video where you can see it and just check out the videos on YouTube you'll see many examples...If it's bigger then the majority of the buds on your plant it's a good sign as a well that it polyploidy https://youtu.be/1xvwPs5ca3M

Not Genetics. Hormone change due to ifestion with phytopathogene bactiera in young veggie, causing double/twisted stems and these stretchy buds. It´s called "Fasziation"

I believe this is fasciation. Polyploid is similar but a bit different.. tho there are some overlapping traits. It’s either one or the other

It's a mutation called polyploidy which is chromosome related and some time is associated with larger yields and stronger weed You're plant is fine and likely will give ya a really cool look at the end, maybe even a bigger yield

Hmm. Genetics. That's odd. Curious what seasoned growers have to say. Interesting looking plant tho.
